.SH DESCRIPTION
The Cdk scroll widget creates a scrolling list.
The following are functions
which create or manipulate the Cdk scrolling list widget.
.SH AVAILABLE FUNCTIONS
.TP 5
.B activateCDKScroll
activates the scroll widget and lets the user interact with the widget.
The parameter \fBscroll\fR points to a non-NULL scroll widget.
If the \fBactions\fR parameter is passed with a non-NULL value, the characters
in the array will be injected into the widget.
To activate the widget
interactively pass in a \fINULL\fR pointer for \fBactions\fR.
If the character entered
into this widget is \fIRETURN\fR or \fITAB\fR then this function will return a
value from 0 to the number of items-1, representing the item selected.
It will also set the widget data \fIexitType\fR to \fIvNORMAL\fR.
If the
character entered into this widget was \fIESCAPE\fR then the widget will return
a value of -1 and the widget data \fIexitType\fR will be set to \fIvESCAPE_HIT\fR.
.TP 5
.B addCDKScrollItem
allows the user to add an item into an existing scrolling list.
The \fBscroll\fR parameter points to the scrolling list to add the
item to.
The parameter \fBitem\fR is a \fIchar *\fR representing the new item
to add.
The item is always added to the end of the list.
.TP 5
.B deleteCDKScrollItem
allows the user to add an item into an existing scrolling list.
The \fBscroll\fR parameter points to the scrolling list to add the
item to.
The parameter \fBf2position\fR is an \fIint\fR which specifies which
element to remove.
.TP 5
.B destroyCDKScroll
removes the widget from the screen and frees memory the object used.
.TP 5
.B drawCDKScroll
draws the scroll widget on the screen.
If the \fBbox\fR option is true, the widget is drawn with a box.
.TP 5
.B eraseCDKScroll
removes the widget from the screen.
This does \fINOT\fR destroy the widget.
.TP 5
.B getCDKScrollBox
returns true if the widget will be drawn with a box around it.
.TP 5
.B getCDKScrollCurrent
returns the current item's index.
.TP 5
.B getCDKScrollCurrentItem
returns the current item number in the scroller.
.TP 5
.B getCDKScrollHighlight
returns the attribute of the highlight bar.
.TP 5
.B getCDKScrollCurrentTop
returns the top line of the scroller, counting from zero.
.TP 5
.B getCDKScrollItems
fills the parameter \fBitemList\fR with the contents of the scrolling list.
It returns the number of elements in the scrolling list.
.TP 5
.B injectCDKScroll
injects a single character into the widget.
The parameter \fBscroll\fR points to a non-NULL scroll widget.
The parameter \fBcharacter\fR is the character to inject into the widget.
The return value and side-effect (setting the widget data \fIexitType\fP)
depend upon the injected character:
.RS
.TP
\fIRETURN\fP or \fITAB\fR
the function returns
a value ranging from zero to one less than the number of items,
representing the item selected.
The widget data \fIexitType\fR is set to \fIvNORMAL\fR.
.TP
\fIESCAPE\fP
the function returns
-1.
The widget data \fIexitType\fR is set to \fIvESCAPE_HIT\fR.
.TP
Otherwise
unless modified by preprocessing, postprocessing or key bindings,
the function returns
-1.
The widget data \fIexitType\fR is set to \fIvEARLY_EXIT\fR.
.RE
.TP 5
.B insertCDKScrollItem
allows the user to add an item into an existing scrolling list.
The \fBscroll\fR parameter points to the scrolling list to add the item to.
The parameter \fBitem\fR is a \fIchar *\fR representing the new item to add.
The item is always added before the current item in the list.
.TP 5
.B moveCDKScroll
moves the given widget to the given position.
The parameters \fBxpos\fR and \fBypos\fR are the new position of the widget.
The parameter \fBxpos\fR may be an integer or one of the pre-defined values
\fITOP\fR, \fIBOTTOM\fR, and \fICENTER\fR.
The parameter \fBypos\fR may be an integer or one of the pre-defined values \fILEFT\fR,
\fIRIGHT\fR, and \fICENTER\fR.
The parameter \fBrelative\fR states whether
the \fBxpos\fR/\fBypos\fR pair is a relative move or an absolute move.
For example, if \fBxpos\fR = 1 and \fBypos\fR = 2 and \fBrelative\fR = \fBTRUE\fR,
then the widget would move one row down and two columns right.
If the value of \fBrelative\fR was \fBFALSE\fR then the widget would move to the position (1,2).
Do not use the values \fITOP\fR, \fIBOTTOM\fR, \fILEFT\fR,
\fIRIGHT\fR, or \fICENTER\fR when \fBrelative\fR = \fITRUE\fR.
(weird things may happen).
The final parameter \fBrefresh\fR is a boolean value which states
whether the widget will get refreshed after the move.
.TP 5
.B newCDKScroll
creates a scroll widget and returns a pointer to it.
Parameters:
.RS
.TP 5
\fBscreen\fR
parameter
is the screen you wish this widget to be placed in.
The parameter \fBxpos\fR
controls the placement of the object along the horizontal axis.
This parameter
may be an integer or one of the pre-defined values \fILEFT\fR,
\fIRIGHT\fR, and \fICENTER\fR.
.TP 5
\fBypos\fR
controls the placement
of the object along the vertical axis.
This parameter may be an integer
value or one of the pre-defined values \fITOP\fR, \fIBOTTOM\fR, and \fICENTER\fR.
.TP 5
\fBspos\fR
is where the scroll bar is to be placed.
This may be one of three values:
.RS
.TP 5
\fILEFT\fR,
which puts the scroll bar on the left
of the scrolling list.
.TP 5
\fIRIGHT\fR
which puts the scroll bar on the right side
of the list, and
.TP 5
\fINONE\fR which does not add a scroll bar.
.RE
.TP 5
\fBheight\fR and
.TP 5
\fBwidth\fR
control the height and width of the widget.
If you provide a value of zero for either of the height or the width, the widget will
be created with the full width and height of the screen.
If you provide a negative
value, the widget will be created the full height or width minus the value provided.
.TP 5
\fBtitle\fR
is the string which will be displayed
at the top of the widget.
The title can be more than one line; just provide a
carriage return character at the line break.
.TP 5
\fBitemList\fR
is the list of items to be displayed in the scrolling list.
.TP 5
\fBitems\fR
is the number of elements in the given list.
.TP 5
\fBnumbers\fR
